My wife has a valid visitor visa and we just received the PPR for permanent residence. Our flight to Canada is in 10 days and it seems there is not enough time to get the passport stamped and get it back. One option is to postpone the departure date, but it is going to be very expensive and it will alter a few other plans.
If we land in Canada with visitor visa, then inform the change in address via webform, will we be 'landed virtually' for PR?
As per PPR, to make use of virtual landing facility, we should inform within 5 days of the receipt of letter, but we won't be in Canada within 5 days either.
Here are some relevant texts from the PPR:

If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
